All is well at Mossy Bottom Farm, except for the fact that the animals will do anything to get out of work. So, Shaun the sheep and his scheming friends devise a plan to put their master to sleep. However, the ruse backfires when the poor farmer finds himself transported to the big city, having lost his memory. Now, it's up to Sean, Timmy the lamb, Shirley the ewe and the rest of the gang to travel to the metropolis and get him back, while not landing in even more trouble themselves.

Critics Consensus

Warm, funny, and brilliantly animated, Shaun the Sheep is yet another stop-motion jewel in Aardman's family-friendly crown.

Shaun will awaken the inner-tot in adults, and the inner-adult in tots.

3.5/4

Delightfully free of the stifling commercial sensibilities embraced by today's most popular animated features, the film may not venture into unexplored narrative territory, but its pleasures are clever, sweet, and often hilarious.

Watched this with my kid and, honestly, it was ok. Was pretty good from a technical perspective but not much acting on this one with it being just grunts and noises. I thought the story was good, but it's a kids movie so you suspend your disbelief in them. There were some funny moments, especially that reveal at the end, it had me belly laughing (definitely intended). Overall a good experience and my kid enjoyed it

Although not quite on par with Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run, the first feature film starring Shaun the Sheep has enough to entertain children and adults alike, and the absence of dialogue is not a weakness, quite the contrary

★★★★★ Shaun the Sheep Movie is an absolute masterpiece of animation cinema: 85 minutes of pure, perfect, wordless comedy. Aardman takes the spirit of classic slapstick (Keaton, Chaplin, Tati) and pours it into a stop-motion world so alive you can almost feel the wool. Every gag is timed to the millisecond, every glance from Shaun says more than a thousand lines of dialogue, and the sheer density of visual jokes per second should be illegal. The restaurant sequence, the animal-disguise pile-up, the dog in the salon, the "memory wall" moment… everything is pure gold. It’s hilarious for kids, side-splitting for adults, and genuinely moving without ever getting sappy. The city chase, the friendship between Shaun and the Farmer (even when the Farmer has no idea), and that tender, perfectly rounded ending leave you smiling for days. Five stars, no debate: one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century, period. 10/10. Baaaaaa-rilliant. 🐑🎬❤️
